Dr Gabriel Scally makes a scathing attack on those who attended the Oireachtas golf dinner.
Dr Scally, who is president of the Epidemiology and Public Health section of the Royal Society of Medicine, said that when people of high office resign after a scandal there should be no question of them ever returning to their former jobs or indeed any job in that particular field.
He also said that public figures often make empty apologies and the apologies are only made because the bad behaviour of the people in question, have been found out and made public.
A valid point.
Those who attended the Oireachtas golfing dinner have perfectly played into the hands of Sinn Féin.
Their behaviour is the oxygen that has given birth to Trumpian politics.
Imagine if they were all sacked and stripped of their State pensions.
But obviously, the Constitution would prohibit the stripping of pensions. Or would it?

Why strip them of their pensions? It is a vindictive and particularly nasty approach, an over-the-top punishment that is more appropriate to a right wing blog. Maybe we should think about taking their homes, or forcing them to emigrate, or better still, just shoot them now and save the taxpayer even more money. Let’s think up the most humiliating and wide ranging punishments for them, and for their families. That will show them. Bring on the police state! Ironically, it is calls like this that are the bedrock of Trumpism, essentially urging disrespect for the rule of law and casting aside the constitution. Pot and kettle come to mind.
